Crowd Fusion Selected as SIIA Previews Finalist; To Present at Information Industry Summit

Jan. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Crowd Fusion has been selected by the Software & Information Industry Association (“SIIA”) as a Previews finalist for 2012.

The SIIA Previews program aims to uncover the most compelling  early-stage content and content-technology companies, to present at their annual Information Industry Summit, to be held at Pier 60 in New York, January 24.

The Summit’s Previews sessions showcase innovative B2B content companies and content-technology companies — with under $10M in revenue. A panel of judges reviews the applications to select the finalists. Each finalist company will provide a 5-minute presentation followed by a 5-minute question and answer session at the 2012 SIIA Information Industry Summit.

“We believe this year’s line‐up of Previews firms demonstrate all of the qualities that point toward success, including ingenuity and resonance within the content and technology industries,” noted Kathy Greenler-Sexton, Interim Vice President for the SIIA Content Division.

Past Previews finalists have included companies such as Jigsaw (acquired by Salesforce.com), Associated Content, Generate (acquired by Dow Jones), RapidBuyr and FeeDisclosure (acquired by Bankrate).

“Dozens of strong nominees were reviewed during the Previews process, so we’re thrilled that we've been chosen as a finalist” said Crowd Fusion CEO Brian Alvey. “I'm looking forward to telling our story to this audience of information publishing leaders – and seeing what kind of magic we can make.”

At the Information Industry Summit, Crowd Fusion will showcase its Publish Everywhere platform, which enables publishers to publish content to multiple tablet, mobile and web platforms with existing headcount.
